Kano govt mourn as slain anti-phone snatching commander laid to rest

The commander of Kano State’s anti-phone snatching task force, Inuwa Salisu, has been buried following his tragic death.

He was killed in his home on Tuesday night and laid to rest on Thursday in Sharada, where family, friends, and officials gathered to pay their last respects.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf attended the funeral along with senior government officials and colleagues of the late commander, describing his death as a huge loss to the state’s security efforts.

Salisu was widely praised for leading the campaign against phone snatching — a menace that had long affected residents, particularly in Kano’s busy neighborhoods.

Security agencies have launched an investigation to find those responsible, while the state government has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
